A Woman's Secret, the 1949 Nicholas Ray crime murder mystery thriller ("I had to stop her... At any cost... That's why I pulled the trigger!"; "What really happened behind the closed door? ...was it worth risking murder for?"; "Vicki Baum knows women! In this story, based on her best-seller, 'Mortgage on Life' she explores the souls of two!"; "Was it the truth...or a false confession...to safeguard a secret so dangerous it was worth the risk of murder? Only the victim knows the real answer...and that lies buried deep in her breast...together with the bullet that struck her down!"; "'I'm her lawyer and her best friend...but I'm afraid to defend her!'"; "'I don't care what she confessed...it's a lie to shield someone else!'"; "'If Susan dies, then she's got to pay the penalty...she's got to!'"; "Produced by and Screen Play by Herman J. Mankiewicz"; about a sexy nightclub singer who is shot by her female mentor, and the woman confesses, but something doesn't add up, and the story of what led to the shooting is told in multiple flashbacks from different people's accounts of what they knew) starring Maureen O'Hara, Melvyn Douglas, Gloria Grahame, Bill Williams, Victor Jory, Mary Philips, and Jay C. Flippen. Note that this movie was structurally very similar to "Citizen Kane", which is not surprising because it was also written by Herman J. Mankiewicz. Also note that this was Nicholas Ray's very first movie as a director (his next movie was "They Live By Night", and it was released before this movie, but this movie was made first!).
